The Black Krim Tomato is one of the world’s most celebrated heirloom tomatoes, originating from the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea. First brought to global attention in the 19th century, this variety carries the rich history of its coastal homeland, where warm days and salty sea breezes helped shape its distinctive flavor. Gardeners and chefs alike treasure Black Krim for its striking appearance and complex taste.
Culinary Benefits:
Black Krim is famous for its deep, earthy flavor with a natural hint of saltiness — a unique characteristic tied to its seaside origin. Its maroon-red flesh with green shoulders is juicy, meaty, and full of umami, making it one of the most flavorful slicing tomatoes you can grow.
Perfect For:
Celebrate its heritage in a Rustic Mediterranean Tomato Tart:
-
Lay slices of Black Krim over a flaky pastry base brushed with olive oil.
-
Add caramelized onions, fresh thyme, and a sprinkle of feta or goat cheese.
-
Bake until golden for a dish that captures the essence of the Black Sea coast.
These tomatoes also shine in fresh salads, layered on sandwiches, roasted to intensify their smoky undertones, or served simply with olive oil and sea salt.
Growth and Harvest:
Black Krim is an indeterminate heirloom that produces medium-to-large fruits (8–12 ounces) with striking purple-red coloring and green shoulders. It ripens mid-season and continues to produce throughout the summer. The fruits are tender, juicy, and bursting with character — a true reflection of their historic Black Sea origin.
Why Choose Our Seeds:
We provide authentic, non-GMO heirloom seeds selected for flavor, vigor, and historical significance. The Black Krim is more than a tomato — it’s a taste of history, a variety that connects gardeners and cooks to the traditions of the Crimean Peninsula.
Growing Tips:
Plant in fertile, well-draining soil with full sun. Strong staking or caging supports the vigorous vines. Water consistently to minimize cracking and ensure smooth ripening. Harvest when the fruits show their signature maroon hue and feel slightly soft to the touch.
The Black Krim Tomato offers not only extraordinary flavor but also a direct link to the culinary traditions of the Black Sea region — a timeless heirloom that belongs in every serious gardener’s collection.
